Campus Facilities

Northfield Mount Hermon sits on the banks of the Connecticut River in a beautiful New England setting with extensive resources.

It encompasses privately maintained country roads, ponds, a watershed and reservoir, and a working farm with a maple sugaring operation and a cider house. One of NMH's greatest attributes is the large array of facilities available to students.

The Schauffler Library includes an advanced media center, an information commons area, and a state-of-the-art digital language lab. It houses more than 70,000 print and nonprint materials, which are indexed by an online catalog. NMH's library participates in an extensive interlibrary loan system. Check out the library's award-winning blog and weekly "Lounge Lizard."

Computers: The entire campus, including student rooms, is wired on a high-speed computer network.

The Rhodes Arts Center opened in 2008. Highlights for musicians include Raymond Hall, with superb acoustics and an audio and video recording booth; a recital hall and an instrumental rehearsal hall; a harpsichord; 14 grand pianos and five uprights; an electronic music lab with recording capabilities and small studio; six teaching studios; 10 practice rooms; a percussion room; and a world music classroom with a collection of musical instruments from all over the globe. A dance performance space with a sprung floor doubles as a black box theater; there is a second dance studio, also with a sprung floor. An end-stage theater is complete with orchestra pit and full technical support, as well as advanced lighting and recording capabilities. The RAC is home to a black-and-white darkroom and studios for printmaking, design, drawing, digital graphics, photography, video production, ceramics, and painting.
